John Feinstein Show on KNBR 1050: Civil, Funny, Entertaining Sports Radio in the Morning, (Finally)

It is welcome news that if one in the Bay Area enjoys a quality sports radio show in the morning, they now have the option of listening to the John Feinstein Show on Knibber's suddenly humane 1050 AM, (6-9 AM).

Feinstein is a prolific sports author and writer, (from the Washington Post and others), which doesn't necessarily translate into a good radio show, but that's not the case here.

Feinstein, along with two capable on-air helpers, provides an interesting, in-depth, funny, and engaging, (live too), program consisting of pithy discussion, interviews, opinion naturally, and all in the context of enlightening you without insulting you, (like another local show at Knibber's 680 outpost).

Couldn't agree more. Anything is preferable to that insufferable morning show. 'Murphy and Mac' sound like a couple of smarmy frat boys with their silly little inside jokes with that idiot producer 'p-con' who sounds like one of the most dysfunctional people on radio. That's KNBR however. Hammer is a tool. They hire amateurs and put 'em on the air and call it radio. It's a joke!

I gotta agree with those that say his show is a bore. He talks about East Coast College Baketball, various golf interviews he has had etc. I listened a few times and figured that was enough to know I wasn't in his audience demo.

I was hoping when Tim Brando left Yahoo Sports Radio he was going to be paired up with Feinstein but that didn't happen.

I was always a Doug Gottlieb fan and hoped his show would appear on KNBR but no such luck. Personally I think the best Nat'l sports show is Dan Patrick's show, but it's not on the air in the bay area. Have to listen to Fox Sports via Satellite.
